This is one of my Barnes & Noble Free Book Friday finds from a little over a month ago. It's the story of an 17-year-old who receives a package of 13 little blue envelopes from her deceased aunt. Along with the letters, she gets distinct instructions of when/where to open each letter, and each letter holds a new task that must be completed before opening the next. If you can get past the fact that she's 17 and traveling throughout Europe without adult supervision, the novel is quite enjoyable. In fact, I forgot how young the heroine was and kept thinking she was 19 or 20.
It's a fun book that takes you on a journey with Virginia as she learns a lot about her aunt, herself, and life in general.
WARNING: the novel does not resolve the story at the end and you are left wanting the sequel--which conveniently hit bookstores the Tuesday after 13 Little Blue Envelopes was released as B&N's Free Book Friday. Smart move by the author and B&N as I purchased the sequel moments after finishing the first.
XOXO,
